smiley pyramids RIP

One in three who answered said that they liked it better before the change. That's a significant portion in my book. And apparently those one in three would like to see a firmer hand applied by the mods. That's not an unreasonable lesson to take from the poll.

And what have post counts accomplished, hm? It was wrong to re-instate them, it'll eventually ruin the forum experience for a good deal of the regulars. I say get rid of post counts again, and nobody would have to worry about a thing.

He was a crazy ass religious poster that kept on posting threads about religion, christianity and creationism.

I don't remember everything, but he was really annoying and tended to lose his temper alot and post really long threads.

Sort of a christianity aneeshm or LOTM if you will

actually I seldom start threats about religion. Almost never. And i try not to lose my temper. Ive learned the ignore feature can help with that alot.

The change didn't come solely from a more lax moderation, far from it. It's also a deeper shift in the way people post.

Personally, I like a good community of intelligent people engaging in interesting debates. 'Poly has good potential to be like this (and it used to), but it has become very stale lately because those discussions are always the same old. The spamminess brings some fresh air to the community. We'll get bored of it soon enough, but at least it creates a change in the meantime.

True, topics and posting habits change over time. I remember when there seemed to be nothing but Israel/Palestine debates. Up to 4 threads on the same topic sometimes... This subsided eventually and I don't think we've had such a thread here in years...

Basically, the news itself has gotten stale. Nothing really interesting has happened since Lebanon or the elections.

id like to now why the post count is so important? What can you do when you reach the higest level? Do you buy a vowel?, solve the puzzle?, or is their like a million dollar prize fore the first million posts? I figure if poly was that improtant to anyone youd just buy into the site and pay for the priviledges you may or may not get now. I dunno maybe im a carzy person for not understaniding what it all means, but my important questions stands, What do you do when you cant go any higer for posts count?

Post count really doesn't matter to me beyond the first 500 you need for a custom avatar.

I wouldn't do anything if post counts were removed altogether. I would still post here as much as I do now.

I will say I liked becoming an emperor, I remember liking the change in status because of what it represented, the fact that I had been here long enough to post that many posts here. It was more for the time and the content then the actual count.
